Lockout allows Titans to focus on draft

One silver lining of the lockout is that it has allowed the Titans, as well as every other team, more time than usual to focus on the draft. Simply put, there is nothing else the front office or coaches can really worry about right now.

General managers who would normally be spending part of their time dealing with free agency are off the hook, as are coaches who would be spending part of their time dealing with players or plotting out OTAs. Instead, everyone’s pitching in and studying draft prospects.

“Yeah, I think you have more eyes on (the draft) than usual,” Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt said. “There are just fewer distractions. Before, you might be signing a player or losing a player or having something else going on. Instead, you’re really allowed to focus on this particular aspect.”
